Wave sailing social day: this Sunday

So we have had some interest! We've decided to run things Sunday afternoon at Woolamai starting 12pm.
We will kick off with a bit of on-beach theory and then get on the water. We will post updates here on Seabreeze and also have a text message update service going on so please get in touch to sign up for that.




Conditions look good with 2-3ft of swell, incoming tide through the afternoon and solid SE-ESE wind. If for whatever reason Woolamai isn't good (unlikely) we can use Inverloch as a back up option about 25 minutes away.

Bring some friends - let's do this!

Was good fun today. Wind ended up around 25 knots in the evening. Swell should be a bit smaller tomorrow with a bit more wind. Will update in the morning with a more concrete plan.

Update: we are going to the second carpark. There is a nice left handed peeling into a deep rip. Upwind of the flags. Anzacs has a bit less wind and the rip is messing things up.

Thanks Al and Jonno for running the clinic yesterday. Despite the tricky wind conditions, it was great to get your advice and feedback throughout the afternoon. Very different to just surfing. It was a challenging afternoon but a good experience.

I third that. It's great to have highly experienced, and approachable, sailors to learn from, as well as mixing it with a great crew of varying skill levels. I also learn a lot from watching less experienced sailors, comparing what they do (that might look wrong) to what I think I do (that hopefully is right). Only the GoPro tells no lies.

Look forward to another session.

Thanks everyone for coming - was a good day. I checked the wind graph and it was swinging between E-ESE which explains why it was a bit challenging. SE-ESE wind makes things much easier. I was really happy with the turn out and it was great to see a lot of people progressing quite quickly in only a few hours. Definitely think we will organise more of these in the future, probably in varying locations. I'll get some photos up here once I've got my hands on them.

I have just finished editing the photos from the weekend...

We (my girlfriend stayed on the beach to take the photos) have posted the photos on our Facebook page (due to the number of photos - 91), however if I read the posting rules we cannot share the direct link...

We are not trying to promote the fb page, just share some of the fun from the weekend... if you are keen to have a look and you are on FB please look up Leashed Photography and look for the Woolamai Jan 2-3 photos...

Added a couple of photos below to show even the good guys don't always end their rides as planned.... Thanks Al and Jonathan for organising the day!!!

Sweet no prob just sent you email haha ????
